Turkish style railroads - I just love the livery of the engine. Some
pictures of the real engine and

Looks almost exactly like the Swedish Rc6 engine, just some small differences in the front (windows,
lights). The technical data are also the same.
This should give you some more liveries to experiment with :-)

Apparently it is a Swedish design
(link
thanks to Selçuk). What is interesting is that the USA has some too. Perhaps
some US train fan can tell us where they run.

OK, here’s a page in
english more information about the Rc locomotives than any train buff would wish
for.
As can be gathered from that page Amtrak did some test runs Rc locomotives. And
then they ordered similar locomotives, namely the
AEM7 class (popularly known as
“The Toaster”), which look a bit different but are of mostly of the same
construction as the Rc locomotives, with Swedish-produced electronics but some
US:ian companies involved in some of the other parts of it.
Jörgen Andersson has modelled the Rc locomotive very well too, in the
orange,
light blue and
green liveries.
The Rc locomotives are extremely common here in Sweden, and are used for both
freight and passenger traffic, in fact for almost all electrified
locomotive-hauled (EMU:s excluded) traffic on the mainlines, with the exception
of some small private train companies.
So it feels kind of like the “normal”, perhaps even the “boring” loco to me.
Even more liveries here,
here,
here,
here,
here,
here and
here.
